Since completing a fine arts degree at Australian National University majoring in painting (1998) I have continued to paint and draw and exhibit my paintings. The work that I develop is derived from experiences and places where texture and colour can be explored.  I flip flop between illustration and loose paint strokes with beaches, lakes and skate parks often as a subject.

I have worked in the creative departments of Adult Education as a trainer and assessor for the past 20 years and enjoy working with and around other creative people.
